Introduction The ICF-1280I series PROFIBUS-to-fiber converters are based on the PROFIBUS DP standard, and are compliant with EN 50170. The converters are mainly used to extend the transmission distance of PROFIBUS devices over optical fiber, and provide redundant transmission. More specifically the ICF-1280I series converts PROFIBUS signals between copper and fiber wires, and extends PROFIBUS transmission up to 4 km (for multi-mode models) or up to 45 km (for single-mode models). In addition, the ICF-1280I series converters have dual fiber ports that can be used to form a ring topology for redundant transmission, and avoid package lost when a fiber path is broken. The ICF-1280I converter also provides 2 kv isolation protection for the PROFIBUS system and dual power inputs to ensure uninterrupted operation. The ICF-1280I series converters are uniquely designed with Remote Fiber Diagnosis that eliminates the need for a fiber optic sensor by using DIP switch adjustments instead. Remote Fiber Diagnosis can detect fiber connections for the overall topology from any individual converter, and determine which side (Tx or Rx) is causing the problem for the converter. Why Convert PROFIBUS to Fiber? Optical fiber communication not only extends the communication distance, but also provides the following advantages: Immunity to electrostatic interference: Fiber is immune to electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference. It provides a clean communication path and is immune to cross-talk. Insulation: Optical fiber is an insulator interface; the glass fiber eliminates the need for using electric currents as the communication medium. Security: Fiber cannot be tapped by conventional electric means and is very difficult to tap into optically while radio and satellite communication signals can be captured easily for decoding. High reliability and low maintenance: Fiber wires are immune to adverse temperature and moisture conditions. As a result, they do not corrode or lose signals, and are not affected by short circuits, power surges, or static electricity. Auto/Manual Baudrate Settings The ICF-1280I series converters simply convert the signal back and forth between PROFIBUS and fiber at baudrates between 9.6 Kbps to 12 Mbps. Engineers do not need to know the baudrate of the connected PROFIBUS device; the ICF-1280I series converters can automatically detect the baudrate of the PROFIBUS device and apply this baudrate directly. This is an extremely convenient feature. If necessary, baudrates can be set to a fixed value via DIP switches to shorten the baudrate detection period when the system initializes. PROFIBUS Fail Safe Electrical noise may be generated when a PROFIBUS device malfunctions or the serial interface fails, resulting in bus failure. Traditional media converters transmit noise signals through the fiber wire to the other converter. This not only disrupts data communication between the two buses, but will also bring communication across the entire system to a - 2 -
halt. When this occurs, the engineers will not be able to easily locate the failed device because the entire PROFIBUS network is down. To avoid this situation, the ICF-1280I series converter has a mechanism to detect and recognize noise signals. If the bus fails on one side, the noise signal will not propagate through the ICF-1280I converter and affect additional bus segments. In addition, the ICF-1280I converter will also trigger an alarm to provide the location of the failure to the field engineer. Fiber Link Monitoring The ICF-1280I series converter provides a fiber link monitoring function to detect the communication errors on both sides of the fiber connection. When a communication error occurs, a red LED status indicator (P1, P2, or Fault LED) will turn on and the relay alarm will activate. If a fiber abnormality occurs on a remote fiber segment, the Fault LED will flash. Engineers can then use the Fiber Diagnosis function for troubleshooting. Reverse Power Protection The Reverse Power Protection feature protects against accidentally connecting the power cables to the wrong terminal. The converter is designed to detect automatically which power wire is positive and which is negative, and then adjust the power supply accordingly. Remote Fiber Diagnosis Optical fiber cables are often deployed for long distance communication and a fiber optic inspection pen is used by engineers to ensure proper communication quality of the fiber cable. The ICF-1280I series converters eliminate the need for a fiber optic inspection pen by providing a Remote Fiber Diagnosis function that uses DIP switch adjustments. There are two major functions provided by Remote Fiber Diagnosis: (1) determining which side (Tx or Rx) is causing the problem on the converter; (2) examining the fiber connections for the overall topology from any individual converter. Fiber cable abnormalities can be automatically detected and identified by the LED indicator even if it is not adjacent to the converter. Remote Fiber Diagnosis facilitates fiber cable deployment and management, and also significantly shortens troubleshooting time by examining fiber connections for the overall topology from any individual converter. - 3 -
Using Remote Fiber Diagnosis: Set DIP switch SW8 to the ON position on any ICF-1280I converter and see the Ready LED status. A flashing green Ready LED indicates that the Fiber Diagnosis has finished. The Fault LED indicates the location of the fiber connection abnormality. The P1 or P2 LED indicates which side (Tx or Rx) is causing the problem. The Fault LED will shine a steady red to indicate an adjacent fiber connection error, or flash red to indicate a non-adjacent fiber connection error. If there are no fiber connection errors in the entire topology, the related LEDs will shine green or remain OFF. If the fiber connection error is adjacent to the converter, the status will also be indicated by the P1 (Port 1) or P2 (Port 2) LEDs. A flashing red light on P1 (or P2) means that the Rx fiber cable connected to this port is broken. Similarly, a solid red light on P1 (or P2) means that the Tx fiber cable in this port is broken. If the fiber connection error is not adjacent to the converter (i.e., the fiber cables connected to this converter are working properly), the Fault LED will flash red. As a result, you should run Remote Fiber Diagnosis on every other (second) converter in the topology to recursively troubleshoot the problem. Further descriptions and troubleshooting can be found in the Troubleshooting table. Redundant Ring The ICF-1280I series converters can connect PROFIBUS devices in a redundant ring topology. Use the DIP switch to configure all the ICF- 1280I converters to Redundant Ring mode. When a PROFIBUS master transmits a signal from one converter to the PROFIBUS slave devices, this signal will travel to all the converters around the ring until it returns to the original converter and terminate. How to form a redundant ring topology: To form a redundant ring topology, connect the Tx Port (Port 1) on the first ICF-1280I converter to the Rx Port (Port 2) on the following converter. Then, connect the Tx Port (Port 2) on the first ICF-1280I converter to the Rx Port (Port 1) on the preceding converter. Similarly, connect the Rx Port (Port 1) on the first ICF-1280I converter to the Tx Port (Port 2) on the following converter. Then, connect the Rx Port (Port 2) on the first ICF-1280I converter to the Tx Port (Port 1) of the preceding converter. - 4 -

Top View Front View ATTENTION Electrostatic Discharge Warning! To protect the product from damage due to electrostatic discharge, we recommend wearing a grounding device when handling your ICF-1280I series converters. Mounting The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should be fixed onto the back panel of the ICF-1280I converter when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate to the ICF-1280I converter, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below. STEP 1: Insert the top of the DIN rail into the slot just below the stiff metal spring. STEP 2: The DIN-rail attachment unit will snap into place as shown below. To remove the ICF-1280I series converter from the DIN rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and 2 above. - 6 -

*Refer to the Remote Fiber Diagnosis section for instructions. If an ICF-1280I converter is deployed at the beginning or at the end of the topology in Linear mode or Star mode, the unused port should be disabled. In such cases, it is recommended to use an ICF-1180I series converter. Please use the ICF-1180I series with Rev. 1.3, or higher versions, to connect with the ICF-1280I series.
